    Welcome.......
    Welcome to the fold, Shirley. I also had right breast mastectomy.

    If there is one thing I know, it is that we all have a future. And whatever it may hold, we will get through it. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and go on. That's what we do!

    I hope you recover quickly and feel better soon.

    Hugs,

    CR

    Welcome
    Welcome to a great board of people.
    Rest--let others wait on you.
    Waiting for the final path report is the hardest step. Patience my dear.
    I wish you a speedy recovery.

    Double mastectomy for me in February.

    Gentle hugs coming,

    I had a right breast
    I had a right breast mastectomy in 2003. I was released from the hospital on New Year Eve's day. I don't remember New Year Eve 2003 at all. Good luck with the rest of treatment.

    Welcome Shirley...
    I am healing from surgery this week too (lumpectomy) and also waiting on results. Yes, this is a wonderful place to get courage and support. Everyone here is so incredible and I don't know how I would have gotten through this so gracefully without them!! We all look forward to the future and I personally hope I will be chatting with everyone and sharing my life and laughter with them for years to come. :) Pammy
